Newcastle United boss Rafa Benitez has unveiled Joselu as his sixth summer signing after the former Real Madrid man completed his £5million move from Stoke City.

Having struggled to agree a deal with Arsenal for Lucas Perez, the Magpies quickly moved back to the deal for Joselu having made contact with the Potters earlier in the summer to enquire about the former Real Madrid player.

Benitez will now focus on tying up a loan deal for Chelsea’s left-sided player Kenedy with talks for the player still ongoing despite a surprise appearance on the bench for the Brazilian youth international last weekend during the Blues’ loss to Burnley.

It is believed that Kenedy’s promotion to the first team scene is largely down to politics at Stamford Bridge as Antonio Conte tries to demonstrate his lack of options to his board. Benitez wants to see the Kenedy deal done in the coming days but is also still keen on signing a goalkeeper.

West Ham’s Adrian is on the wanted list but purchasing a goalkeeper has been complicated by the Tim Krul situation at Benton. Benitez has been told he can only bring in a keeper once Krul has left the club.

Krul, who has been linked with Benfica and Crystal Palace in recent days, told United he wanted to stay on Tyneside and is in no hurry to leave the club.
